Virat Kohli's horrendous run with the bat continued in the second T20I against England on Sunday (July 10) as he was once again dismissed cheaply on just 1 off 3 balls. Kohli made his comeback in the T20I side after a gap of almost four months but failed to live up to the expectations once again as he was sent packing in no time after coming out to bat at number three.

Despite Kohli's flop show, India managed to thrash England by 49 runs in the 2nd T20I after successfully defending the total of 170 runs to clinch the three-match series 2-0 with two wins on the trot. However, the former Indian skipper's form remains a huge concern for the Men in Blue with the T20 World Cup 2022 just a few months away.

Kohli has been enduring a rough patch across all formats for India for the last few years and his recent failures have led to former cricketers and experts questioning his spot in India's T20I team. Kohli's spot is also a matter of debate after Deepak Hooda's stellar rise and stunning performances in the top-order for India in their last few T20I matches.

Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja recently gave his take on the debate surrounding Kohli's spot in India's T20I team and said it's a call captain Rohit Sharma would have to make. Jadeja believes Rohit will have to decide if he wants to play the brand of cricket that India want with Kohli in the side or without him.

"You have been shown that there is another way of playing the same game. You are still scoring around 180 to 200. It's not that the game has changed, but you have a choice of how you want to play. I think Rohit Sharma will be making that call," Jadeja told Sony Sports.

"I think anyone who is leading the side has only two choices. That's the way I see it. Either you stick to the way you have been playing, give opportunities to youngsters or you go back to your old team that played before you started trying to give opportunities," he added.

Kohli was roped into India's playing XI for the second T20I against England in place of in-form Deepak Hooda, who had scored a match-winning half-century in the series opener. Hooda has been sublime form in the shortest format and has made the most of opportunities that have come his way so far.

Speaking about the intense competition for spots in the Indian top-order, Jadeja said Kohli would npt have been part of his team if he was to pick a T20I side for India. The former India batter also made a bold claim that Kohli wouldn't have been playing in Tests as well if not for his reputation for what he has done for the team in the past.

"Virat Kohli is a special player. If it wasn't Virat Kohli, he wouldn't have probably playing Test cricket as well. You look at the numbers and say 'oh, over the last 8, 10 matches, he hasn't scored a hundred'. But you don't leave him out just because he hasn't scored a hundred. You don't leave him out because of what he is done in the past," said Jadeja.

"Virat Kohli is a choice that you have to make. Do you want to play that solidity at the top and then get runs right at the back? It's that old-style when Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will bat at the top and you would have players like Dhoni where they get 60 in the last 4 overs. It depends on whom you want to play. I feel you have a choice, it's a tough one to make. If I had to pick a T20 side, Virat probably won't be there," he explained.

Kohli has not scored a hundred in international cricket since 2019 and has been far from consistent for the Indian team across the three formats. He was rested from the South Africa series at home post the IPL 2022 and made his comeback in the one-off 5th Test against England earlier this month.

Kohli flopped in the Test match as India lost by seven wickets. He was rested from the first T20I in the ongoing series before making his return in the 2nd T20I and was expected to fire but he once again endured a disappointing outing.

Former India pacer Ajit Agarkar feels ex-skipper Virat Kohli's form is crucial for the side as whenever the batter has scored runs, the team has ended up winning the game.

Kohli has not scored a century in two years with his last ton in international cricket coming way back in 2019 against Bangladesh. In the ODI series against West Indies, Kohli recorded scores of 8, 18, and 0.

Ahead of the India-West Indies T20I series, Agarkar spoke about Kohli returning after a break from T20Is without the captaincy.

"I don't think it will be any different to the batsmen, I think one of the top things about Virat Kohli, when he was captain was, that he didn't let his form falter. His runs didn't dry up with the extra pressure that can happen sometimes - that didn't happen with him which was his greatness as a captain as well," Agarkar said on Star Sports Show Game Plan.

ALSO READ:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/node/453455">Doors are open for everyone: Rohit Sharma opens up on Team India star Hardik Pandya's possible return</a>

"So, now that the captaincy pressure is off there might still be a role for him whether that's to play a bit more aggressively or still bat the whole innings and the other guys bat around him and bat more aggressively."

"I think that's for the team management to decide, but Virat Kohli's runs are so crucial for India - every time he scores runs India invariably end up winning. So, his form is crucial to India's success as well," he added.

India and West Indies will lock horns in three T20Is, beginning Wednesday at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

Agarkar also compared Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav pointed out who will be a better pick for the T20I series against West Indies.

"Both are very good players, both good strikers of the ball. I just feel Suryakumar Yadav is more versatile if you need him to bat a little bit higher or even if it`s at 5 or 6, he seems to have a bit more to his game or more all-around ability to his batting than Shreyas Iyer," said Agarkar.

"Shreyas Iyer is a terrific player who can strike the ball well but at this point, If I had to pick one out of the two - it'll have to be Suryakumar Yadav because he just seems in better form, seems to have a lot more all-round game and more suited to the number 5 or 6 at this point," he added.

'Virat Kohli's form crucial to India's success': Former India pacer Ajit Agarkar on star batter's poor run

After a forgetful tour of South Africa, Virat Kohli's struggles with the willow have continued in the ongoing ODI series between India and West Indies at home. Questions have been raised over Kohli's form with many suggesting the former India captain should be asked to rest for a few games in order to find his mojo back.

Kohli was dismissed for a 4-ball 8 in the first ODI before scoring 18 off 30 balls in the second game. Though India managed to win both the games comfortably, Kohli didn't enjoy great outings on the personal front. While he has failed to bring an end to his century drought since 2019, Kohli's form has been under the scanner in the ongoing series.

Many have suggested Kohli should be rested for a few matches as he doesn't look in the right space of mind ever since being sacked as the ODI captain of the side. However, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes the former India skipper should not be asked to rest unless he himself demands a break.

"There has been a lot of talks that Kohli should be asked to rest, that you are not having a great time, take a break now also and if you like, don't play the T20s as well. I will never keep that proposal in front of Virat Kohli. It is fine if he himself says that he wants to take a break," Chopra said in a video on his YouTube channel.

The cricketer-turned commentator further added that every batter goes through a lean patch in his career and a legend like Kohli doesn't have to prove his credentials again&nbsp;after enduring slight bad form.&nbsp;

"You are talking about Virat Kohli. It does not happen that a legend does not remain a legend because of slight bad form. When you go through bad form, we all have gone through that more compared to Kohli, you want to play regularly at times. You don't want a break," Chopra added.

Should Virat Kohli be asked to rest? Aakash Chopra gives his take on former India skipper's poor form

Skipper Virat Kohli has been dismissed thrice on duck (twice in Test and once in the T20I match) in the on-going tour against England. Former England captain Michael Vaughan came up with advice for Virat Kohli to find a way to get back to scoring runs.

"For India to get those big scores, be really effective, and go on to win the T20 World Cup, it will serve the team better if Virat is just a little bit selfish. A little bit more selfish in the first few deliveries gives himself ten balls to get in. Even if he leaves out 3-4 balls in that, you know a couple of boundaries, and he will be on his way," Vaughan said on Cricbuzz.

"He doesn't seem like a character who would be too concerned (about his poor form). My advice would be to give himself more of a chance. Look at the way he got out today, trying to wack one away over mid-off early. I think he is a better player than that.

"I think he could give himself a few more balls. When you go through a period when it doesn't seem to be going your way, the best way to get out of that kind of run of low scores is just to stay out there and take up a few more balls. You know Virat Kohli would certainly catch up; he's got all the game and the skills to be able to do so," he added.

"I never get concerned with Virat's batting because he never looks, in terms of movements, that he is out of form.

"But something will be triggering in that mind that is quite not right at the minute, but he's only 10-15 balls away from being back to the Virat Kohli we know. He just doesn't have to take too many risks too soon when he goes out there in the middle," Vaughan signed off.

Virat Kohli surpasses Sourav Ganguly in unwanted list during 1st T20I vs England

Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli, after roaring back to form with a stunning 90 not-out vs Chennai Super Kings, said he was “putting too much pressure” on himself in the early matches of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020</a> while adding the Super Over thriller against Mumbai Indians “opener his mindset” and helped him get back to form.

Kohli, who was struggling for runs in the early tournament, hammered an unbeaten 90 off 52 deliveries as RCB defeated CSK by 37 runs on Saturday.

"I was trying to do too much and putting too much pressure on myself, taking focus away from what I need to do - watch the ball and bat. Sometimes you forget you're only a player out there, and the responsibility then kicks in," Kohli said in the post-match presentation.

"If you think too much about responsibility, you get burdened and you don't play as a player. Your skills are also required for your team's success. That Super Over where I had to strike every ball, else we would have lost, really opened my mindset. And then I started enjoying training, enjoying batting."

Kohli was named the man of the match in RCB’s win over CSK as the Bangalore outfit won their fourth win in six matches.&nbsp;

"It was one of our most complete performances. We got into a bit of a tricky position in the first half," Kohli said.

"From there on, we pushed forward. We spoke during the second timeout (with the bat) that 140-150 would be good. Ended up getting more than that. It was a tricky pitch," Kohli further added.

"Really pleased to get two points. We have back-to-back games coming up, so important to build momentum," he said.

"It's about understanding the conditions and respecting the game. Instead of trying to hit every ball into the second tier of the stadium. Having played so much cricket, especially T20 cricket, I have learnt that if you are set at the death, you can capitalise," Kohli said.

"It's about understanding the conditions and respecting the game. Instead of trying to hit every ball into the second tier of the stadium. Having played so much cricket, especially T20 cricket, I have learnt that if you are set at the death, you can capitalise," Kohli said. RCB will next face KKR in Sharjah on Monday.
